The Disability Care Services in Umeå Municipality aim to be a resource that liberates and strengthens people's ability to live an independent life through proximity and interaction.
Within residential care, there are group and service apartments according to LSS for individuals with intellectual and/or mental disabilities.
Grubbevägen is a group home according to LSS for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
The residence consists of six apartments connected to shared spaces, including offices and on-call rooms. Individual support primarily originates from each resident's apartment.
We now wish to welcome two new employees to our organization!
Your Responsibilities
You will provide daily support to individuals with mental and/or intellectual disabilities. Your approach is characterized by flexibility, continuity, and security. You offer individually tailored support, both socially and practically, based on each individual's needs. Through a methodical, long-term, and goal-oriented approach, you contribute to enhancing the user's abilities, participation, and influence. Working in a low-arousal manner during situations of threat and violence is also part of the job. Together with the users, you will create a safe home environment and a meaningful daily life.
You will assist users practically with cleaning, laundry, cooking, personal hygiene, leisure interests/activities, and medication management. Since the organization has access to a minibus, you will also drive it to various interventions and activities.
Your tasks will also include various types of administration such as planning support, documentation, record-keeping, and creating implementation plans. Follow-up and evaluation of the work will be a natural part of the operations. Contact with other actors within healthcare, guardians, and authorities will also be part of the job.
Co-planning occurs between our operations within Disability Care Services.
Working hours are scheduled for day/evening/weekend and on-call night shifts.
